Word on the street is Urban Decay’s Naked palette is THE palette to own – although I admit I largely blocked it out – just not too interested in neutrals. However, when I was alerted to it being in stock online – and the price was only £27 (that is fab value for the amount […]

YSL have released a Limited Edition blush and highlight powder for Autumn 2010. They say: This season’s star is embellished with a detail of passementerie engraved on the emblematic YSL compact in contrasting matte and shiny gold. This powder in interlacing barely-there shades will give you sinful radiance. The slick gold case has the beautiful […]

Another pre holiday pick up – I had a little gift voucher so I decided to get a little present for myself before my hols! I ended up choosing this Limited Edition palette from Shu Uemura! It’s a whopping £49 – expensive but it is pretty and has everything I need in one place which […]

Not much info yet, just a gorgeous visual to show you. On the counters from October and costing £61 is the Fall/Autumn Voyager Kit offering from Trish McEvoy: Hubba Hubba, it’s a beautiful kit. You get the shadows, blush, lipgloss, four brushes and the little carry case. You know I love having everything in one […]

I’ve decided that I quite like the eyeshadow quads from Maybelline (I thought I posted about them on the blog, I didn’t, I will do in the future!). Maybelline Eye Studio Cream Eyeshadow Trio Palettes. Musey didn’t think much of these, but she’s not the boss of me! I bought just one of these palettes […]

Visee is not my favourite Japanese drugstore level brand – far from it but nevertheless, sometimes they release some really nice products. I seem to have quite a lot of their eyeshadow palettes because I find they tend to be bolder than other brands. I got the chance to try this new Limited Edition palette, […]

Next up is Must Have from the Sue Moxley Famous Palette. Where Festival is ridiculously bright and buttery, the Must Have palette is collection of matte, everyday shades consisting of cream, browns and grey: This one is a ‘useful’ palette but for me, the texture wasn’t as nice as the Festival palette – it was […]

Does everyone want to be Famous? I wouldn’t want to be. Rich, yes. Famous, no. Sue Moxley’s make up range is called Famous and here are two of her quads: First up is Palette 1 is Festival, a very soft, pigmented, shimmery. The colours are totally crazy! A bright canary yellow, a bright tangerine, a […]

My handbag, for those who have never had the privilege of carrying it, has been likened to carrying an anchor, specifically the one they use to dock the QE2. And that’s despite me loving anything that’s multi use, anything that puts everything I need into one place. Yes, I absolutely love depotting make up. It’s […]

Whenever I mention the Frontcover range on this blog, the ladeez love it! Frontcover make palettes that come with tons of colours, brushes, sometimes lashes, sometimes mascara etc. They’re like complete kits or looks in a box. Mermaid Dreams is one of Frontcover’s latest releases. Just on first sight, I knew it was my bag. […]

I visited the CCO (Cosmetic Company Outlet) in York a few weeks back. I wasn’t really impressed – it reminds me of the one in Cheshire Oaks, which is also mildly lame, full of last season (or older) make up… It’s great if you missed out on something from an old MAC collection, or if […]

This is my first foray into ADDICTION, a brand backed by Kose and designed by ex-Nars make up artist Ayako. The whole line appeals to me – I am a true Nars fan, but the prices put me off. I decided to splurge after seeing the visuals for the Limited Edition Summer Collection, named Le […]

Look into my eyes, in the eyes, not around the eyes…. You’re back in the room. With me. And two lovely eyeshadow palettes from Kevin Beautymaker! I recently purchased two palettes from the range – Big Eyes and the Contour Kit. Kevin Beautymaker, if you read this blog regularly, is one of my favourite brands. […]

I’ve had my eye on these YSL OMBRES 5 LUMIÈRES 5 Colour Harmony for Eyes Palettes for ages and ages and ages. But at £39 its rather steep (I did buy one Limited Edition palette) and to be honest, I wasn’t impressed by any of them when I swatched. Anyway I spotted this on Cheap […]

I purchased Kanebo’s KATE new Gradical Eyeshadow Palettes recently. KATE is a pretty good brand in terms of quality although the last few eyeshadow palette offerings were a bit shimmer, a bit sheer. The Gradical palette has 4 gradual shades and a white eye base which is quite common in Japanese eyeshadows palettes. They are […]

I alerted you all to some Pixi Cosmetics on sale for bargain prices – so here is my haul. I got 2 lip boosters, a lip liner, a palette called Miracle Velveteen and three Triple Eyeshadows. I think the total was about £35-£40 with shipping. Warning: Pic Heavy! Let’s start with palette. This palette is […]

Trish McEvoy’s Limited Edition Spring offering is this super cute Python Petite Makeup Planner. If you are ever thinking of investing in Trish, I’d highly recommend trying one of their seasonal limited edition planners or the credit card palettes as you get so many items in one place. Ta Da! I am a lucky gal, […]

Along with the Crystal Lip Balms, Clarins has also released three lip glosses in clicky pens for the Summer Instant Sun Light Collection: These three glosses have a SPF 6 and come in Vanilla, Coral and Cinnamon. Its the traditional clicky format. The glosses were more pigmented than I expected and have a light texture […]

Out of the entire Clarins Instant Sun Light Collection for 2010, these Crystal Lip Balms were the most thing I was most excited about. They’re transparent! (or see through, if you like!) It comes in 3 shades – Crystal Coral, Crystal (looks like a light pink) and Crystal Red. As well as being a lip […]

I was also sent these two lovely Instant Smooth Highlighters from Clarins. These two limited edition highlighters are a mixture of the Instant Smooth Skin Perfector (I product I adore) and a highlighter. Natural is a sheer dewy peach with shimmer and Bronze is a golden caramel. I really like these and I’m not really […]
